Abhishek Kapoor’s directorial Rock On has been one of the most popular movies in Indian cinema based around rock bands. It was one of the very few films which managed to not just be all about rock music, but also bound the entire story with a beautiful tale of friendship between four friends, played by Arjun Rampal, Farhan Akhtar, Purab Kohli and Luke Kenny.
Today, as Rock On turns 13, here are some interesting facts, which hardly people are aware of:

2. The members of the Magik Band from Rock On were featured on the cover of the September 2008 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine’s India edition.
3. In an interview, Arjun Rampal had revealed that before learning guitar for the movie, he used to play the guitar on his tennis racquet.
4. The DoP of the film, Jason West, is a famous drummer himself. During the lunch breaks in between shoots, the Magik band used to have jam sessions with Jason.
